3 Fig 2 Forest plot. Standardized mean difference in depression score change from baseline (post-score minus pre-score) between the isotretinoin group and the control group (isotretinoin group minus control group). The more negative a standardized mean difference is the greater the improvement in depression scores in the isotretinoin group in comparison with the control group.

4 Fig 3 Funnel plot analysis for potential publication bias. The funnel plot for change in depression scores in 19 studies showed no asymmetry, which means no publication bias. Each dot represents a study; the y-axis represents the standard error of the study and the x-axis shows the study result (standardized mean difference of pre- and post-treatment depression scores in each study).
